Synopsis

Reed Fish (Jay Baruchel of Million Dollar Baby and Undeclared) seems to be leading the life he's supposed to. He's followed in the footsteps of his late father, doing an early-morning radio show with the town's mayor, Maureen (Katey Sagal), through which the eccentric locals of Mud Meadows voice their complaints and have them addressed. He produces the show with his old high school buddy, Frank (Victor Rasuk), and he's engaged to be married to another high school chum, the gorgeous Kate Peterson (Alexis Bledel), whose dad (Blake Clark) seems to own every business in town. But Reed's plans are upended when his high school sweetheart, Jill (Schuyler Fisk), comes back to town. She's supposed to be away at law school, but she confides to Reed that she quit school years ago, and has been working as a waitress while she fruitlessly pursues a career in music. Reed encourages her to play on Open Mike Night at the local bar. He inspires her to find her voice, which leads to some complications in his relationship with Kate, forcing Reed to reexamine every aspect of his safe, secure life. I'm Reed Fish also features performances by DJ Qualls, Chris Parnell, and Shiri Appleby. The comedy marks the feature debut of director Zackary Adler, and had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

I'm Reed Fish: AMG Review
Josh Ralske , AMG

I'm Reed Fish is a reasonably engaging romantic comedy, featuring endearing performances from its young leads. Jay Baruchel, as Reed, utilizes the same goofy gawkiness that made his work on Undeclared such a pleasure, while Schuyler Fisk exudes a refreshing guilelessness as "the other woman" in his life, and she pulls off a convincing musical number, to boot. The supporting cast is equally fine. These are enjoyable people to spend time with, and that helps give the sense that Mud Meadows is a friendly community, despite the presence of a few cranks. The story putters along amiably enough until its sneaky film-within-a-film framework reveals itself. Once the cleverness of that moment subsides, the film snags on its malnourished framing story. The film-within-a-film conceit actually detracts from the main story, and more cynical viewers might see it as a cynical way to throw a little crafty but wholly unnecessary ingenuity into an otherwise routine if well-executed small-town romantic comedy. In the film, the "fictional" part of the story is presented as a bit of a ruse, but ironically it's the making-a-movie-about-making-a-movie aspect that comes across as somewhat weak and contrived. I'm Reed Fish demonstrates a lot of talent, but it's another case of a neophyte filmmaker not recognizing where his true strengths lie, and feeling the need to embellish a perfectly charming first feature with distracting whistles and bells. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
